Can my child make up quizzes and tests?
Yes. But they need to reschedule with me within one month of the exam/quiz, etc.
Can my child re-do assignments for a higher score?
Yes. It is encouraged if the student has received a less than satisfactory grade (unless it's after the specified make-up day). If the student already has an A/O, He/she will be unable to re-do. Most reading quizzes will not be made up.
What happens if my child is absent?
He/should can check the website to see what was missed. They can also e-mail me to ask. He/she will have the same amount of time that they were absent, to make up the assignments (example. Absent one day, student has one extra day to make up assignment).
